Summer of 1986. Thirteen-year-old Ulises leaves the city with his grandparents after his father has a heroin relapse. With the streets in a riot after the reconversion of Galicia's shipbuilding sector, an offshore island seems like the best destination for a teen. There he will befriend Toya and Onehuevo, whose parents have also suffered the onslaught of drugs. In retaliation, the three of them plan to kill Leonidas, a drug dealer operating on the island. And while they carry out their objective, a grownup Ulises reflects on the past and on the scars that migration, drug trade, and economical crises have left on many generations. After the success among critics and public alike of The Secret of the Asorey Sisters, Marta Est?vez returns with yet another family saga that spans over three historical periods and moves on horseback between Galicia and Venezuela. A novel that enshrines the author as an essential voice in Galician literature.
